10 Home Remedies for Toothaches
Toothache Home Remedy #6: Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide is a popular and effective home remedy for toothache pain. It is also used in other medical applications including cleaning wounds. Hydrogen peroxide has powerful antimicrobial properties. However, make sure that you don’t use hydrogen peroxide in high concentrations because it is highly corrosive. Also do not swallow hydrogen peroxide because it may have adverse effects on your gut.
To use hydrogen peroxide for toothache, first make sure the concentration is 3 percent or less. If the hydrogen peroxide has a higher concentration, mix with some water to dilute it adequately. Take a mouthful of the solution and swish for one to three minutes before discarding. Rinse with warm water.
